ORANGE IS THE NEW JUICE
(HOW TRUMP BECAME THE NEW O.J.)

If and when they’re ever released, the TRUMPStEIN FILES don’t really matter as much anymore.

Whatever slimy details are burrowed therein, the remaining “evidence” isn’t trustworthy. Not anymore. Can anyone really trust the hand-picked sycophantic inner-circle of blind loyalists inside Trump’s DOJ to allow any dirt on their boss to surface? Does anyone really expect to discover a hidden treasure drove of legitimate materials related to sex crimes by Jeffrey Epstein and all those who willfully participated and enabled a decade of abuses?

The Trumpstein Files are now in the process of being scrubbed so clean it’s gonna’ read like Dr. Seuss wrote it. According to the bill that was just signed mandating the release, the Orange House now has 30-days to redact, block, strike out, delay, alter, and/or obliterate ANY evidence that might possibly link Trump to any wrongdoing. THIRTY DAYS!

Fortunately, most Americans will know when they’ve ordered steak of the menu and then get served a heaping pile of bullshit. What in the hell is this? This isn’t what we ordered.

Trump’s “trial” has been the many months leading up to this point in time. The evidence of his guilt has been countless acts of open DEFIANCE and OBSTRUCTION. Every single step of the way. Delaying. Distracting. Deflecting. What-about-ing. Lying. Insisting the files “don’t really exist.” Absurdly claiming Trump was close to Epstein because he was working as “in FBI informant” (that whopper was floated by Republican House Leader, Little Mike Johnson). When those tactics failed, next Trump launched into a multitude of vicious personal attacks on all those — some even within his own party — who disagreed with him. He ripped into every one of them. He threatened them. He defamed them. He even called them “traitors.”

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE AN INNOCENT MAN TO YOU ? ???

Twenty-five years ago, another famous person was suspected of committing a very serious crime. He could have cooperated with law enforcement and investigators, but didn’t. So, he went on the run. We all remember the scared celebrity who jumped into the rear seat of a white Ford Bronco and tried to get away and hide from the world. So far as his guilt, the trial became secondary. He later won in court, as many guilty rich and famous people in America do, but the country knew he was guilty. We didn’t need a jury. We saw it in a white Ford Bronco fleeing the police on the highways of Los Angeles. Innocent people don’t run and hide from the evidence. They welcome it.

The last eight months of ceaseless obstructions have been Trump’s white Ford Bronco moment. We’ve all watched it and we’ve all seen it. Now, he’s essentially turned himself in, and remains lawyered up and buffered with the most powerful legal team in the country. I doubt if he’ll be found guilty of anything, because he’s escaped justice so many times before.

Charges don’t matter. No trial is necessary. We’ve already witnessed Trump’s behavior — not just in these recent months, but over a scandalous and scurrilous lifetime.
